With its functionality, policyholders can create policies, use underwriting, maintain and terminate them. Policy lifecycle automation also helps insurance companies personalize customer interactions by introducing customized rates, discounts, and new sales offers.

Study customer data in real-time

Many types of data insurance apps can quickly analyze. For example, identity data (e.g., name, phone number, links to social media profiles, email, etc.), quantitative data (e.g., bank account details, credit score, frequency of payments, etc.), descriptive data (e.g., educational background, property details, car ownership, etc.) and qualitative data, like behavioral customers’ details. All this information can be used to improve the service and provide personalized insurance offerings.

Increase user engagement

User-friendly interfaces, personalized experiences, real-time updates, and 24/7 customer support are all proven ways to increase user engagement. Insurance mobile apps can make a good impression by offering wide-ranging functionality to customers, including features like policy management, claims filing, in-app payments, and discounts for healthy behaviors. All mentioned will encourage users to stay active and engaged with the app.

Grow user reach

Providing good customer service is always the way to get positive feedback and attract more customers. By offering mobile-friendly services, insurance companies can tap into the growing number of mobile app users and reach a broader audience that may not have access to traditional insurance channels. You can also advertise your mobile insurance app in similar apps to target an even bigger audience.

Boost sales and efficiency

We’re convinced insurance businesses should invest in insurance application development to offer a more convenient and accessible way for customers to purchase insurance policies, file claims, and receive support.

A step-by-step guide to insurance mobile app development

Insurance mobile app development requires a profound knowledge of all the peculiarities of the insurance industry. Having solid experience in this field, we’ve compiled a step-by-step guide to develop an insurance app that enhances customer experience, increases efficiency, and gives you a competitive advantage in the market.

Step 1. Develop the right customer-oriented strategy

Like in any other app, the first step in insurance mobile app development is in-depth research to analyze the target audience, define the primary business goals, and create a long-term strategy to achieve them. Shaping the right customer-oriented approach is essential to understand why your policyholders need your app and how you can benefit from it.

For example, in our White Label Telemedicine Platform case, part of our customer-oriented strategy was integrating medical insurance into the well-being platform since it’s vital for ensuring access to affordable and high-quality healthcare, reduced healthcare costs, and improved health outcomes.

So, to create an effective strategy and meet all business goals, at RewiSoft, we perform the following tasks for insurance application development:

1. Research the market: We collect information about similar types of insurance apps that exist on the market. Our BAs also analyze the latest trends and innovations in the insurance industry to identify gaps in the market and develop features that will make your app stand out.
2. Define and analyze your target audience: We study the preferences and behavior of your target audience, identify their pain points and decide how to attract and motivate them to download your application.
3. Conduct competitor research: We study similar offers in the insurance market and explore the strengths and weaknesses of direct competitors to find a better solution to solve the same problems for users.
4. Create a unique value proposition (UVP): We create a value offer that aligns with your core business goals based on research findings.
5. Perform user research: During this step, we help surveys and interviews with a focus group to identify user needs and preferences to create a general user persona profile.
6. Develop user personas: Based on research results, we create a detailed user profile to reflect the user segment we want to reach (e.g., doctors, admins, and patients, as in our White Label Telemedicine Platform project).
7. Create a list of must-have functionality. We identify and prioritize the essential features your app should have based on user needs and business goals.
8. Compile technical documentation: We create detailed documentation that contains all our customer’s requirements, tech stacks, the scope of work, team structure, and project milestones.
9. Estimate project timelines and costs. We perform a detailed time and cost analysis to set the required budget for the development, marketing, and maintenance processes.

Step 2. Define the business model and monetization plan

To define a working business model, you must conduct preliminary market research and explore traditional monetization options. This way, you can determine how your insurance business will generate profits from developing a mobile app.

There are four monetization options you can choose from:

• Advertising model. Using this model, you can generate income by providing your application to other companies as an advertising platform. You earn a specific commission whenever a user clicks on the advertised link.
• Subscription model. Insurance companies implement a subscription-based model for using premium offerings. These offerings may include premium listings or other services integrated with the platform. The payment is usually made monthly or yearly (for example, $15 monthly for a subscription).
• Commission-based model. This model is more suitable for aggregator applications that can compare insurance plans, match policies, and search for the right insurance companies. Both users and insurance companies pay a commission to an app.
• Referral model. By incentivizing users to share an insurance app with friends for a reward, this model allows you to generate revenue by attracting new customers and increasing application downloads.

At RewiSoft, we recommend balancing the desire to acquire users with the desire to make money. Depending on the monetization method, you can start earning immediately or gradually increase your audience and receive money after a certain period. Also, you can combine several monetization models and test several versions at once to define the best working for you.

Step 3. Start with MVP

Whether you’re a startup or an established insurance company, we recommend starting small if you launch a mobile insurance app from scratch to avoid further risks and budget overruns.

By creating a minimum viable product, you will need a limited feature set and less budget and time to release your first version of an app to understand whether it induces users’ interest. That means you can launch your app in just 2-4 months (instead of 6+) and start collecting feedback.

By analyzing feedback, we refine your product to suit the target audience’s interests most and avoid implementing redundant functionality. It is an iterative process that involves collecting ongoing user feedback and implementing updates to your design and features.

However, with an experienced insurance software development provider, this task is a piece of cake. Find out more about our service offering: MVP development services!

Step 4. Move to the UI/UX design

At this stage, our design team uses wireframing or prototyping tools to create a basic version of your insurance app to test with users. The UI/UX design phase is required by default to show how the application will look and work and resolve any inconsistencies before the development phase.

At RewiSoft, this process works as follows:

1. Assigning UI/UX designers to your project: We assign 2+ UI/UX designers with a solid experience in the insurance niche.
2. UI/UX research: They study the target users, their pain points, needs, and goals.
3. User flows and customer journey mapping: Our designers identify user flows and create customer journey maps to visualize how your users will engage with your brand, service, and product and reach their primary goal: buy your insurance services.
4. Information architecture: Our designers create a clear information architecture that organizes content and features logically and intuitively. That helps us develop a clear and concise navigation structure.
5. Wireframing: Based on the information collected, we start visualizing the layout and functionality of the app. That is an intermediate step to refine the design before moving on to more detailed prototypes.
6. Prototyping: We create interactive prototypes (i.e., clickable design) to test the functionality and usability of the insurance app.
7. Visual design: We can create mood boards, UI kits, and design systems that contain chosen color palettes, logos, animations, typography, and graphic elements such as icons and images. That is a guideline for our designers to develop a visual design in a consistent style that aligns with the brand identity and is visually appealing to users.
8. Usability testing: Several prototypes are submitted for testing with real users. It helps us identify usability issues and make the necessary changes before investing too much time and money into development. Moreover, RewiSoft has an in-house UX Lab, where we use an Eye Tracker tool to track users’ behavior patterns, decide how to meet usability gaps, and increase conversion.

A successful UI/UX design phase for an insurance application development involves a user-centric design approach focusing on creating a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Step 5. Develop your insurance app

This stage entails turning the designed screens into a working insurance app. The insurance application development phase includes careful planning, coding, testing, and deployment to ensure the application is functional, reliable, and meets user needs.

The RewiSoft team follows the below steps during the development stage of creating an insurance app:

• Choose the right platform: We choose the appropriate platform for your mobile app, whether iOS, Android or both. The choice will depend on your target audience’s preferences and the devices they will most likely use.
• Define the app’s architecture: We define the app’s architecture, including the design of the app’s user interface, its database structure, and its back-end services. That helps us develop the app in a structured and organized way.
• Plan sprints: We assign (2+) mobile app developers, plan the scope of work for each iteration that lasts 2-4 weeks, and define priorities and task sequences to meet the expected results on time.
• Develop the front end: Our front-enders develop the app’s front end, including designing the app’s screens, navigation, and interactions. Read more about our Front-end development services!
• Build the back end: Our back-enders build the app’s back end, including the server-side infrastructure, APIs, and database. Read more about our Back-end development services!
• Integrate third-party services: Depending on the need, we integrate third-party services, such as payment gateways, social media platforms, and analytics tools, into the insurance app.
• Testing: Here, our testers come into play to conduct comprehensive testing to ensure the app is bug-free and performs well. That includes unit testing, regression testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing.
• Delivery. Our project managers monitor the developers’ work to ensure the project is completed on time and with the expected quality.

Step 6. QA and testing

Once the development stage is over, we conduct multiple tests to check for vulnerabilities and bugs and minimize potential reworks later. Thus, we thoroughly test your app for usability, bugs, compatibility, security, and the level of satisfaction of insurers and policyholders. We put the results in bug reports and assign developers to fine-tune the application and make the necessary improvements.

Step 7. Release and maintain

The release of your insurance app is not the endpoint of insurance app development. In addition to deploying your app to an appropriate app store or distribution platform such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must maintain your app regularly. Moreover, since the insurance market is changing rapidly, you may require adding new features and constantly finding ways to attract more users.

At RewiSoft, we provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the app runs smoothly and is up-to-date with the latest security patches and feature updates. So, if you need any help – contact us!

MVP features for insurance application development to consider

Regardless of the type of insurance application, we implement certain MVP features during insurance mobile app development to understand whether the product is needed and whether your app idea attracts end users.

Admin panel

The admin panel is a dashboard for viewing and managing information about customers, insurance agents, and company operations. When designing it, it’s best to make it clear and simplistic by adding only relevant information to the dashboard. You should also invest in the latest security protocols and ensure robust data protection measures since agents deal with sensitive payment and customer information.

Quick registration

The registration feature allows users to create their accounts and access their policies. The registration process should be user-friendly and secure, allowing users to register their insurance policies and digital signature. The information to collect during registration includes the user’s name, email address, phone number, and password.

Additionally, verifying the user’s identity through email or SMS confirmation is essential. Our developers use third-party verification services like Onfido or Jumio to streamline the verification process.

Policy management

It allows policyholders to view and manage their policies, premiums, and claims. Best practices for policy management development include incorporating AI algorithms to analyze customer behavior and provide personalized policy recommendations that suit their budget and interests.

Document/image uploading and management

Users should be able to upload and access relevant documents in one click (e.g., ID cards, driver’s licenses, or insurance policies) and high-quality images (like submitting proofs of when and how the insured event occurred). As a mobile insurance app provider, you should allow your customers to upload, access, filter, and review all the documents and policies they need on the go.

Claims filing and management

Your insurance solution should allow customers to create, submit and track their claims. The best practice when developing this feature is allowing users to submit claims by straightforward in-app instructions. In this way, we make the user experience intuitive and smooth, allowing the user to file a claim on a single page easily.

In-app payment system

Integration of a robust in-app payment system is a must-have feature for insurance app development. When implementing an in-app payment system, ensure support for multiple payment methods (e.g., credit/debit cards, bank transfers, mobile wallets, and online payment platforms such as PayPal or Stripe). However, the choice of specific payment methods will depend on the target market and the app’s integration capabilities.

E-signature

Introducing an e-signature option to your mobile app will allow insurance companies to sign documentation easily and securely. The best practice we use to implement this feature is to integrate biometric hand signatures, mouse and stylus input, and scanned images of handwritten signatures.

Live chat and customer support

Providing instant and secure communication between policyholders and insurance agents is essential. Messaging option will allow both parties to communicate on bargain details in a matter of a few minutes. It also allows customers to easily connect with service staff to discuss their policies, claims, and premiums and solve problems.

Push notifications

By integrating a smart notification system into a mobile app, you will be able to get your customers notified about the progress of claims processing, payment status, new personalized offers, etc. Sending regular push notifications to your customers will increase user engagement and significantly improve the overall experience of the platform.

Tech requirements for insurance app development

Any product owner and insurance company takes a risk by investing in insurance application development. So, exploring your future insurance app’s required tech characteristics is vital to ensure its success. Consider the technical requirements below to create a mobile insurance application with the latest technology, strong protection, legal compliance, and decent quality.

Advanced technologies

Introducing cutting-edge technologies into your insurance app can significantly maximize operational efficiency and deliver a superior customer experience.

Our team is proficient in all core modern technologies, so we have no limitations regarding our customer’s requests for insurance mobile app development. Below, we’d like to provide a brief overview of advanced technologies that can make your app stand out.

• ML and AI algorithms – for real-time data analytics, risk assessment, personalizing the user experience, automating underwriting procedures, and optimizing claims turnaround cycles
• AI-powered chatbot – for improved and quick customer service
• Big data – for enhanced decision-making, user behavior analysis, risk prediction, and improving underwriting accuracy
• Blockchain – to secure transactions, avoid fraud, increase transparency, and streamline the claims process
• IoT – for secure data collection and sharing, claims processing, and customer engagement

Tech stack

The choice of tech stack will depend on the development approach (native, hybrid, or cross-platform) of your mobile insurance app, your project goals and business requirements, as well as factors like development timelines, budget, and available expertise of your development team. However, this choice should be wise since it will determine your mobile app’s stability, performance, flexibility, security, and maintenance.

For insurance mobile app development, we usually prioritize the following tech stack:

Security measures

Security comes first when it comes to working with users’ data. Security measures are essential for any application, especially for insurance services that allow storing confidential information and making online payments. So, every insurance business should create a combination of approaches and tools to protect customers’ data and decrease the number of cybersecurity threats.

At RewiSoft, we recommend following the security best practices below to ensure a secure and compliant application. Some of them are:

• Two-factor authentication (2FA) and biometric authentication for an added layer of security
• Data encryption to protect all user’s sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII) during storage and transmission
• Secure data transmission by using encryption protocols such as HTTPS, SSL, and TLS to ensure that data transmitted between the app and servers is secure
• Payment gateway protection
• Regular security audits to protect sensitive user data
• Built-in fraud detection algorithms
• Conducting penetration tests
• Creating workable risk mitigation plans
• Implementing blockchain to secure transactions

Legal compliances

It’s vital to consider legal compliances to ensure your app is compliant and adheres to legal compliance laws. Regulations vary by jurisdiction, so your application must comply with insurance industry standards in the location where your application will operate. Otherwise, non-compliance will result in civil, financial, or even criminal sanctions for insurance businesses.

For example, in the United States, insurance apps must adhere to state insurance department regulations, HIPAA regulations, and other data privacy and security regulations.

In the European Union, insurance apps must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD), and other national insurance regulations.

The app should also comply with various industry standards, such as OWASP (for app security), PCI DSS (when dealing with cards), and SOC 2 (standards for managing customers’ data.)
